A guide for this piece: about $112, based on the 10% US charge on the declared value of goods made in Japan.
The final figure is set by US Customs and depends on where the piece was made and the kind of object it is. Many antiques over a century old carry no ordinary duty; most jewellery and leather goods add a single-digit rate.
With EMS, any charge is collected by your postal service on delivery. For pieces of significant value we can often arrange duties prepaid before dispatch.

Slogans on the sleeve
Mihara Yasuhiro turns the varsity jacket into a scrapbook: chenille letters, felt pennants, arrows that argue with each other and lines of chain stitched lyric. Every surface of the front and sleeves says something, and the back answers with a single instruction about old shoes. It is a jacket that rewards a long look.
Best for: Collectors of Japanese designer outerwear; maximalist wardrobes
Condition notes
Light signs of use with no conspicuous damage noted. The cream leather sleeves show light wear consistent with use.

A Maison MIHARA YASUHIRO cropped varsity jacket, reference B15BL041: deep navy wool, cream leather sleeves, and a front and sleeves crowded with chenille letters, felt pennants, arrow patches and chain stitched script. Tagged size 36.
The Piece
The front leads, and it is dense. A large chenille M, with the word MAISON running through it, fills the right chest; chain stitched script on the left recalls a song lyric about paradise. Down the right sleeve: a blue chenille 72, a 1999 TOKYO pennant, a MIHARA YASUHIRO pennant, and two arrows reading NO MATTER, NEVER MIND and NO MIND, NEVER MATTER, with small line drawings at the cuff.
The left sleeve answers with a red script MY, a long stitched line about going over the edge, and an orange chenille Y dated 1999. A compass rose is embroidered low on the front beside the white woven label. The back keeps to one message in blue chain stitch: Dont throw away your old shoes. The cut is short and boxy.
Mihara Yasuhiro began as a shoe designer, which gives the line on the back its wit.
